After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons pulled away from the Pacers 122-103. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
